Chapter 27: An Academy-Centered World?
Start of Volume 2: Chronicles of Dirarnia
He then sent a message to Kiara, letting her know that he wouldn't be able to see her for a while. He softened the tone of the message, hoping to make it easier for her to accept.
After reading it over, he sent the message to Kiara. Surprisingly, it didn't cost him any LP. 'Huh, that's odd. This is the second time something related to the Records has been free. Maybe this system isn't as capitalist as I thought?'
Still curious, he decided to confirm with the Records. "Records, why was sending this message free?"
[Messages are one of the functions of the System Tools and are consequently free.]
'Oh, that makes sense. Anyway, time to choose the next world. But what kind of world should I go to? Could be a cultivation world, a world with wizards, or maybe something entirely different. I should take a little time to think it over so I can make the best decision.'
Mikael began running through different scenarios in his mind, imagining the possibilities. After a moment, he made up his mind.
Before heading to the Hub, he touched his C-rank sword and willed it into his newly acquired inventory. In the next moment, the sword disappeared.
Focusing his thoughts on his inventory, he saw a mental image of a room with the sword inside. He willed the sword to "come out," and it reappeared in his hand.
He was impressed by the "magic," but he didn't dwell too much on it—he was already used to the phenomena caused by the Records that would leave scientists tearing their hair out. He then stored his backpack and a few "daily" (or rather, weekly, given his stats) necessities in his inventory.
He also bought additional supplies he thought might be useful: a camping tent, a sleeping bag, water, food, and a few other items. Altogether, these purchases cost him 200 LP.
